A Companrtson.—-The 198,000 English sol- diers with their colors cost as much as the 428,000 regular troops in Germany, the round figures for both countries being $94,200,000 a year. Huge as the German army is it has less officers above the rank of captain than the English army, and this, with the smaller pay, cheaper clothing, and rigid economy in all de- partments, helps to make up the difference in the cost of the soldiers of the two nations.

The p rtvait hes been assigned a place in the s«lality hall of the Convent.

Last Nicur’s Bazaar. —The Baptist Bazaar in the Market Hall yesterday evening was most enjoyable. The Hall was prettily de- corated with sprace and bunting, which gave it quite a Christmas appearance. The ar- rangement of the different tables was so per- fect that tolook upon them was to feel hungry. Asa consequence, they were well patronized. The Apron and Fancy Tables were filled with all the pretty nick-nacks usual at Bazaars, and which found ready pur- chasers. A curiosity shop was a new feature, but required a “ Little Nell” for a tenant to have been more attractive. A fair amount was realized.

Xmas Tree.—The children of Miss Lang- try’s Catechism Class had their annual Christ- mas Tree last night. A programme of songs, dialogues and instrumental music, was inter- spersed with the distribution of gifts by a real 4anta Claus from the great illuminated tree peoperen in the hall. His Lordship the Sishop, Father Burke, and the cathedral clergy, as well as many ladies and gentlemen of St. Dunstan's congregation, were present to show their interest in tae good work Miss Langtry is doing, and encourage the child- ren to take advantage of their opportunities. The affair was a most enjoyable one, every youngster being delighted with the good things Santa Claus provided.

Cuanae or Bustness.—-We understand that Mr. P. P, Gillis, of the Union House, has purchased Mr. H. J. Kennedy’s livery stable with all his stock and appartenances.

We commend the resolution Mr. Gillis has taken, and hope that many more of our liquor dealers will follow his example, Indeed it would be a great inducement to those against whom there isa sentence of imprisonment if auch sentence were abrogated when the guilty eg bas gives up the liquor in «

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The Marshal's Case.

Sir,—In common with other citizens, I have taken an interest in the recent elec- tion on the Scott Act question, and later on im the very decided efforts being made by our noble temperance men in attempting to out or enforce the said Act in our city. must, however, confess to some surprise at their recent action in influenciag the City Council to carry out the manifest wishes of the eitizens in the manner in whieh they have. I refer to the circum- stances under which the change has been made in the cffice of City Marshal. There can be no doubt the change was earnestly desired by a large majority of law-respect- ing citizens, and desired purely and solely in the best interests of our citizens yener- ally; but while this is undoubtedly the case, l am nevertheless strongly of the opinion that the same love of humanity by which their action is characterized would have led them to recommend that the present officer be accorded at least thirty, perhaps sixty days’ pay from date of dismissal. _1t may be that the Committee considered it no part oftheir duty to make this suggestion, and preferred leaving the details to the good judgment of the present temperance ma)jor- ity in the Council. That being the case, will it not be wise, will itenot be more humane, at the present season of the year, in view of the long service of the Marshal, and of the fact of a large household being dependent on him for their living, that the City Council vote him such a sum a3 in their judgment will meet the requirements of the case. I know Charlottetown pé4ple are behind none in their love and practice of that which is humane and beneficent, and I am strongly of the opinion that the above, or a somewhat similar suggestion would meet with their hearty approval. Apologising for the length of this conim uii- cation, Iam, yours faithfully, OBSERVER. Ch’town, Dec, 21, 1887.

That

Meeting.

Str.—I observe that Mr. G. F. Owen, of Cardigan Bridge, questions the correctness of your local of the 10th inst., which’ re- ferred to the meeting called by him te dis- cuss Commercial Union. Now, sir, 1 con- sider that your item was perfectly correct and that Mr. Owen is himself ‘* slightly erroneous” when he tries to leave the im- pression that the meeting, though * slim,” did actually take place. He is kind enough to publish the names of six persous who

November. He wasthere too, I’m told, but his modesty has prevented him from mentioning the fact. This would make, all

told seven, who were present. But the trouble is these seven were all speakers, and there

was consequently no audience ; or in other words, the preachers were in attendance, but there was no congregation. Hence, you were quite within the mark whea you stated that the meeting did not take place.

But Mr. Owen’s meeting will, perhaps, come off yet—if not on the 21st, some time when people are not busy and the weather is’ finer. 1 rather think, however, that those who attempt to ** boom ” Commercial

up-hill work. Yours, D. Montague, Dec. 17th, 1887.

The Marshal.

Sre,—As Mr. Flynn’s services as ‘Chief of Police have been brought to an sbrupt termination, citizens naturally ask the question : Who is this George Passmore that is to succeed him? No-one knows anything extraordinary concerning the

perance Divisions and Alliance have con- ferred a great boon upon him. But time alone will tell whether he will make as gdod a showing in the discharge of the not very agreeable duties of the position as his pre- decessor. In recognition of the bonanza job secured to him by the Alliance, he inust endeavor to pass more Scott Act offenders over to justice than has been hitherto done. Aside from all this--when the City Fathersfound it imperative on their part to dispense with Mr. Flynn's services, why not offer the position to Sergt. Cameron, a tried and faithful officer, instead of. pitch- forking an inexperienced person into the position, simply to gratify the whims of an overly zealous handful of persons. If the condition of things is bettered by the change, it is more than is expected liy

Denounctne CorrerPtion.—A Quebec des- patch says that as an outcome of the dis- closures of terrible grit debauchery in Laprarie county, Vicar-General Legare, at the prompt- ing of Cardinal Taschereau, preached a sermon at thefBasilica denouncing perjury and elector- al“corruption. 1t was a very inted address,

and made the Grits present feel uncomfortable.

Pay or Potice.—Privates on the Halifax slice force now receive $440 and #40 extra or clothing; sergeants $540, and detectives and deputies $700 each. A new scale of wages has been adopted. Privates will be taken on at $400 and increased $20 each year to $500; sergeants commence at $500 and increase to $600 ; detectives and deputies to start on $600 and increase to $800. |

The Jesse Jaies Gang of Burglars,

HOW DETECTIVE SKEFFINUTON RAN THEM TO EARTH.

AND

A correspondent of the St. John Si says :— ‘* For the past two years the people of Alberton have been subjected tu. _uum- ber of periodical burglaries. Stvres and private residences were eutered. ‘The itev. Mr, Carr’a house and the railway freight shed were broken imto, the Inter three times. Not a great while ago the Dominion Government sent Detective Sketlington over to the Island and he spent three weeks travelling about in disguise, part o/ the time as a shoddy cloth pedlar.. In the course of his petezrimations the detective learned that there was a regularly organized gang of about a dozen burglars, the captain passing under the name of Jebse, James, and his lieittenant being known as Frank James. Having secured what he felt to be sufficient evidence tu justify the step, Mr. Skeffington caused warrants to be issued against five of the gang, to wit, Henry McDougall, the leader; Frank Couglan, his lieutenant; James Fitzgerald, R. Shirlock and James Forsyth. Henry McDougal), who stands six feet one and a half ‘eolines was arrested on the train going | into Summerside by Detective Sketiiugton and county constable White. After being handcuffed by the detective, the prisoner was searched and a murderous pair of lead knuckles found on him.

The officers then proceeded to Alberton | for the restot the gang. As they ap- proached a house where they expected to tind some of the culprits, ‘two of the gang rushed from the premises and made for the bush. Skeffington fired at their fleeting heels, and they subsequently gave -them- selves up. —"

The warrants having beén duly execu- ted, the five prisoners were taken to Summer- side, and at the preliminary investigation two of them turned’ Queen's evidence, re- sulting in the other three being committed

Summerside in June next. Mr. Wyatt, barrister of Summerside, prosecuted for the government.

Rev. Mr. Carr is about having an indic- ment laid against the prisoners for burglar- ing his house, and Mr. Ireland is taking like steps as to their breaking into his store and stéaling clothing. The prisoners vary in age from 26 to 30 years, and some of. them are-married men. ©.

The people of Alberton are much re- joiced over the effective manner in which detective Skeflington ferreted out and cap- tured the gang.
